' P 3, 1957 w. E. voss CONTROL VALVE mzvxcss Filed March 10. 1955' United States Patent 9 i CONTROL VALVE DEVICES Waldemar Emil Voss, Kenton, England, assignor to Adams Limited, London, England, a British Company Application March 10, 1955, Serial No. 493,403 Claims priority, application Great Britain April 9, 1954 8 Claims. (Cl. 251-214) This invention relates to control valve devices for use in pressure fluid systems, more especially for use in conjunction with compressed gaseous oxygen supply systems, such as are used in respiration aids in aviation, mountaineering and surgery, and has for an object the provision of valve devices having improved ease of operation, reduction in weight, elimination of added lubricant, extended life and increased resistance to wear and improved sealing both in the fully open and closed positions and in all intermediate positions, in particular when both the inlet and outlet connections of the valve device are connected to a system at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure.
According to the persent invention, a valve device includes a valvebody, bored to provide an inlet and an outlet port, a valve element having an operating spindle and a hemispherical nose adapted to seat on a conical seat insaid bore to seal the outlet port, a tapered gland member, such as a. bushing, accommodating or receiving said spindle for co-operation with a second conical seating surface formed in a thrust member, such as a block in the valve body, to provide a leak-proof joint between the valve spindle and valve body.
The tapered gland member or bushing is preferably bored and formed internally with a female thread to engage a male thread on the valve spindle, the tapering of the gland bushing providing diminishing thickness, so as to' form a resilient gland seal concentric with and surrounding the spindle.
The gland bushing is preferably continuously maintained in close contact with the spindle by spring loadingthe thrust block, which is formed with a tapered bore, so as to be located in line contact around the tapering gland bushing and to compress said bushing inwardly to grip the valve spindle under pressure exerted by the spring through the thrust block. To assist in this, the lower end of the gland bushing terminates in a rounded flange.
Preferably the gland bushing is formed as a freely fitting sleeve insert in the valve body, and is locked against rotation and sealed to said body, adjacent the top thereof, through an integral flange compressed onto a seating surface in the valve body, by means of a clamping nut screwing onto thevalve body and concentric with the valve spindle.
Preferably the valve body is made of a light metal or light metal alloy, for example aluminium or aluminium alloy, whilst the gland member is preferably made from a slightly resilient synthetic material such as nylon, which requires no lubricant for the mating screw thread of the valve spindle and which will maintain a gland seal around the spindle without increasing the operating torque excessively.
The thrust block is preferably made of harder material than the gland, such as aluminium-alloy, and is relatively non-resilient. -In order to minimise wear between the valve seat and valve element nose, one of the two is preferably made of 2,805,040 Patented Sept. 3, 1957 ice The thrust block is conveniently spring loaded against.
the rounded flange of the gland bushing surrounding the valve spindle by means of a compression spring fitted in a recess in the valve body and concentric with the valve spindle.
One form of valve device according to this invention for use in controlling flow of compressed gaseous oxygen, is illustrated in vertical section in the accompanying drawing, referring to which there is provided a valve body 1 of aluminium or aluminium alloy, which is bored centrally as at 2, and has two further bores forming passages at right angles to the main bore 2, one of said secondary bores forming an inlet port or passage 3, and the other an outlet port or passage 4. Where the inlet passage 3 communicates with the central bore 2, the body 1 is formed with a conical seat 5, with which the valve element is adapted to co-operate. Said valve element comprises a valve spindle 6 of stainless steel, terminating in a hemspherical nose 7, preferably formed of polished in the top surface of the valve body by a clamping nut 11, e. g. of a light alloy, which screws onto a thread 12 on the outer diameter of the valve body and secured by a lock nut 13.
The nylon gland bushing 9 is bored out to receive a.
female thread for engagement by the thread 8 on the valve spindle 6, whilst the lower end of the bushing is tapered as at 14 and terminates in a rounded flange 15, the whole gland bushing element including the tapered portion 14, flange 15, threaded bore and flange 10 forming one component.
The top of the screw thread on the valve spindle 6 is protected by a stainless steel washer 16 which forms a stop for the valve spindle in the fully open position against the lower surface of the clamping nut 11.
A thrust block 17, e. g. of hard aluminium or aluminium alloy, is provided as a free fit within the main bore 2 of the valve body 1 and is formed with an internal tapered bore, such as to provide free location of the thrust block on the rounded flange 15 of the nylon gland bushing 9, with a line contact between said block and flange, thereby giving an equal closing pressure all round the gland bushing onto the valve spindle. At the lower'end, the
tapered bore of the thrust block is clear of the valve.
spindle, which passes through it.
The thrust block 17 is at all times maintained in pressure contact with the rounded flange 15 of the nylon gland bushing 9 by a compression spring 18, which presses the thrust block 17 upwards and tends thereby to compress the said flange and tapering wall of the nylon gland-bujshvalverspindleinose, 7,1Ito thekoutlettpassaget' arid;port .4.

Not; only isthis conducive to leakage pastthe stem; especially when pressure ygreatenthan atmospheric pressure exists'at both ports of the, valve,,but also the gland nut requires to be tightened progressively in an attempt to maintain the seal as the gland material becomes compressed andinela'stic'.
In valves according to this'invention, the valve spindle is eflfectively sealed near the lower end adjacent to the spindle nose and valve seat by means of the tapered and rounded lower end of thergland bushing, thrust block and compression spring combination, and the function of the clamping ;nut is .gto;:clamp;the ,I61SilL6nb-ffi3l1g6 of the nylon gland bushing to the toppf the valve body and to act as amp -in':the1-fully-*open tppsitionfofithe' valve:
